Wow again, Scott. I can't thank you enough for working on this picture. It looks even more amazing now. Lyra is loving her 'internet fame'. We showed her the B&W yesterday when I got in from work and she was very proud! She'll love this one when I get in today, I'm sure. I've always loved the picture - but had never really tried to do anything with it because I assumed that from the iPhone 3G camera, the small file size and the dim lighting, the noise was pretty much unsalvageable.Your tutorials are always useful, but this one has saved one of my favourite pictures! Thanks again, so much.

wow this is a great looking final image! I am continuing to learn more about photoshop and photography in general, and this has helped me a lot. until this post, i had no clue that there was even a "reduce noise" filter that i could use and since reading it have used it to really clean up a few of my favorite low light pictures. thank you!
